Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
why does SNRI is bad for glaucoma??? Tramadol is an SNRI but i only get 22 IOP from Tramadol, 38 on Duloxetine about 24 in Alprazolam, 25 from caridoprodol again a GABA SNRI..
if only Amitriptyline is non drowsy its the best SNRI out there.. its more NET blockade than SERT.... it will make u moving with just 25 mg dose even better at 50mg dose
Agreed. There is so much suffering. I genuinely don’t understand why suicide is demonized. If people really mean that they are pro-bodily autonomy then that means people deciding whether or not they want to be alive or not.
i disagree. i have schizophrenia and i know i need meds , but i also know meds fuck with the body and mind in ways that arent healthy 🤷♂️ anyone who would actually look into this and stop shoving pills down peoples throat and actually talk to them would know there is other ways to live and cope with a serious mental disorder. ((: my mind is clear with therapy and certain coping skills and much work put in. just takes time. you can live a life with out meds. you can do it. meds dont fix shit ive been on SO many all made me worse. they just mask them problem they dont take it away. and the problem is drs and psychs thinks they are curing people when really they are just slapping a bandaid on it and telling them to live their life best they can. sucks this world is all about making a dollar to make people sicker 🤷♂️ said what i said.
It’s also cuz the feds are cracking down on in more now they take more seriously then they did 2-4 years ago. And I think addicts realize now how bad it actually is and some people are avoiding cuz it’s obvious how bad it is. Where as before it was soo obvious .. and changes in prescribed meds like suboxone
I have heard vortioxetine must be reduced when combined woth buprion...i started buprion without doctors recommendation because i was suffering from low libido...after starting it my libido is improving
Obviously ...but medical insurance and Drs are raping people for iv treatment and having to spend 8 hours in a Drs office just doesn't make sense for everyone.it costs too much.
It sounds like you are describing me. My anxiety is nearly constant. I have used Zoloft and Wellbutrin and Xanax. My psychiatrist had me take a genetic test called GeneSight which revealed that I do not have receptors for Zoloft. I have had anger issues for about twenty years and lost a lot of friends because of it. I’ve tried I V ketamine for a couple of months with little result. I’ve tried TMS to better effect but the last few treatments left me with migraines lasting days. So now I am taking Deplin and Lamotrigine. I really want to get off of Xanax because I’ve become increasingly forgetful. I am just telling you this to let you know what I’ve encountered in the treatment of deep chemical resistant depression. Anyhow I value your RU-vid contributions on medical issues I really am not asking for a diagnosis or anything like that. I have a psychiatrist in New York who is treating me and I have a great deal of respect for him. I just wanted to hear more of your reports on treatment resistance depression and possibly what you are seeing in the field. Thank you be well sir. Michael
I’ve been on Brintlex 20 mg for the past 1 month. I have made minimal progression. When I increased the dosage to 20mg, I suffered from headaches and nausea. I am still suffering a month later. Do you believe that 15mg dosage is sufficient to treat my depression symptoms? My wight is 85kg and the height is 173cm. Do you recommend another medication to add to Brintlex to help treat resistant depression?
Hello. My psychiatrist hypothetically is recommending Ketamine for chronic depression. I have tried antidepressants like Lexspro that didn’t help much. My life is more or less ruined now anyway.
Thing is ssri's destroy the mitochondria then causing chronic fatigue which is then blamed on the depression and more meds prescribed. Then said meds make you a zombie and more tired. Add in long haul covid triggering systemic inflammation and more intense fatigue with shortness of breath and low back pain. But if I refuse meds I lose disability income which is the only thing keeping me alive and I have no safety net. Yet I haven't been able to see a doctor in 5 years due to shortages and my own inability to navigate a broken system. I've been left for d e a d. I'm traumatized by doctors and the many times I've been kicked off meds cold turkey due to the state fighting with the federal government over who should pay for my prescriptions and doctors who genuinely don't care.
What about a trial where you tell one group positive things, and how helpful it is, one that's a neutral, then a group where the researcher tells the group how it's been going bad, and how it's not helpful.
My son on 450 and the level is in 200s. Smoking cigarettes. Too. He used to be on 650. Not stabilized and not doing well. Waiting for Kar XT. Any suggestions?
I take a high dose but for seizures. I also have bad panic attacks. Well guess what benzos can save peoples lives if they are having a panic attack. Try having a full on panic attack and see if that ssri or buspar is gonna take care of it. I don’t think so. If someone needs to take 2 pills a day to feel normal for the rest of their lives who are we to say they shouldn’t.
I take gaba(about 1400 mg a day) and i can distinctively feel something weird in my fingers, toes and a shortness of breath, when i take more i can feel fully anxiolitic
